Coffee

Posts here are devoted to the simple joy of coffee—whether it’s a nitro oat latte in Fargo or a tasting flight during a road trip. I share notes on cafés visited, beans tried and the small moments that make each cup memorable.

Early Sunday morning. Fresh cup of delicious coffee. Fire started in fireplace. Everyone else still sleeping. Gratitude.

Got our Halloween pumpkins at Little Hill Berry Farm by Northfield this morning. 🎃 They also had a delicious Blueberry Pancake breakfast. 🥞🫐☕️

Pumpkins of various sizes and colors including orange, yellow, and white at a sunny farm patch with trees in the background. A large pumpkin patch filled with dozens of orange pumpkins on dry vines, with a few people browsing in the background and trees under a clear blue sky.
